While burning at the stake as a witch, Maliha accepts a Sumerian demon’s offer to become immortal and serve him as an assassin. Then she’s given an assignment she can’t bear to carry out. She chooses the mortal path instead, and emerges from three centuries of service as the demon’s slave. She discovers the fine print of her contract. If she balances lives taken with lives saved, she’ll ascend to a paradise straight out of Sumerian legend. If she fails, she faces eternal torment at the demon’s hands. The ticking clock? Every time she saves lives, she ages a variable amount of time.
Now she has an opportunity to prevent the death of thousands to help balance the countless lives she has obliterated over the centuries. To do so, she must locate and destroy an evil cabal of madmen in possession of a weapon of unspeakable power–and survive the immortal assassins who are now after her blood. But it means reverting to the old ways and surrendering once more to the darkness.
